Yes, they probably got this from the preseason roster which had him listed as a C. Unofficially, Kariya added to his HE and I believe nation-leading totals with 3-3--6 in the three games in Alaska, giving him 11-24--35 in 12 overall games. Maine plays 38 regular season games which would give him about 110 points at the current pace before the playoffs, and at this pace if Maine made it to the championship game, he could play 45 games with 131 points.
